Abstract
A solar collector has a polygonal top panel forming a top face and having at least three edges, a similarly polygonal bottom panel forming a bottom face directed away from the top face and fitted congruently to the top panel to form a flow passage extending between the faces, and at least four connectors projecting from at least three of the edges.
Claims (11)
1. A solar collector comprising:
a polygonal top panel forming a top face and having at least three edges;
a similarly polygonal bottom panel forming a bottom face directed away from the top face and fitted congruently to the top panel to form a flow passage extending between the faces; and at least four connectors projecting from at least three of the edges.
a polygonal top panel forming a top face and having at least three edges;
a similarly polygonal bottom panel forming a bottom face directed away from the top face and fitted congruently to the top panel to form a flow passage extending between the faces; and at least four connectors projecting from at least three of the edges.
2. The solar collector defined in claim 1 wherein the panels are rectangular and have parallel longitudinal edges and parallel transverse edges extending crosswise between the longitudinal edges.
3. The solar collector defined in claim 2 wherein each of the edges has two of the connectors.
4. The solar collector defined in claim 3 wherein the edges meet at corners each provided with two of the connectors.
5. The solar collector defined in claim 4 wherein one of the connectors at each corner extends transversely and the other of the connectors at each corners extends longitudinally.
6. The solar collector defined in claim 1 wherein at least some of the connectors are unitarily formed with removable end closures.
7. The solar collector defined in claim 1, further comprising means for feeding a heat-transfer fluid into one of the connectors, passing the heat-transfer fluid through the passage to another of the connectors, and drawing the heat-transfer fluid out of the other of the connectors.
8. The solar collector defined in claim 1, further comprising a vent on one of the connectors.
9. The solar collector defined in claim 1, further comprising a temperature sensor on one of the connectors.
10. The solar collector defined in claim 1 wherein the panels are made of injection-molded plastic.
11. The solar collector defined in claim 1 wherein the panels have bumps that project oppositely to the respective faces, the bumps meeting centrally in the passage and forming baffles therein.
